So I've been working on a modified version of SugarCube 2 and some server software that will allow for true multiplayer Twine stories. You can check out the demo / proof of concept here: https://twinemulti.herokuapp.com/ . It's just a simple story where you can wave to other people, but they're real humans on the other side who can wave back . The format is designed to get around most of the issues a multiplayer game would face with Twine, but I haven't fully developed the scripting language component yet, and am looking to link up with some creators who would be interested in working with the format so that I can get some feedback + suggestions on what functionality they would like to have available. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't done much in the way of bulletproofing at this point, just trying to get it working in any form. Mostly tested in chrome and FF on my sytem (windows). Part of continuing to work on the format will of course be getting it working in all modern browsers.

Yeah I think the similarity is definitely strong. The reason I decided to work on this project was because of how accessible twine is to both make and play. I wanted to bring that to a multiplayer environment. And having seen some really complex twine games got me excited for the potential multiplayer could have there, too. Also I originally saw it come up on here a while back

Edit - the reason I mention this is that typically MUDs require digging into code to do, but the simplicity of the Twine editor is pretty unparalleled, so the prospects of doing a multiplayer CYOA / manager type of thing is pretty exciting to me.

I've had quite a hard time trying to reproduce this, but I believe it's ultimately coming down to a race condition on the initial connection. If so, I've added some code that should fix that issue for you. Thanks again for reporting it!
